    On the day after the Grand Galloping Gala, Princess Celestia receives a request for audience from her "nephew", Prince Blueblood. What on Equestria could he want from her?

    - - -

    Blueblood has the distinction of being just about the only character that's roundly hated and despised by the MLP:FiM fandom. This was my attempt at a bit more sympathetic treatment of him; here, he's a proud and snobbish doofus, but not a complete douche. This is a stand-alone story, at least for now, but it could also be the prologue for a series of fics describing Blueblood's career as a questing knight, and his redemption as he learns a bit of humility, compassion and the true value of nobility.

    Hmm. Funny, but I love Blueblood. Rarity can be even more bitchy and annoying, as we saw numerous times. And Blueblood cannot be so simple and two-dimensional. "Fly of the Alicorn" shows one of the possibilities, and he, for all we know, can be philantrop who gives money to orphanages, but completely insufferable personally. Good work overall.

    Also, lol'd when Celly almost let Rose spent 50 billion bits.

    Well, that was good. But, now, I want to read about the "Prince Blueblood Totally Glamorous Adventure!". So, If you please, continue.:pinkiesmile:

    Very good.

    One thing I would say is that it would be nice to have a bit more character description when it came to the minor roles.

    Also, who's the artist of that fantastic piece of cover art?

    The Glamorous Adventure of Blueblood? I'd like it more with Fabulous instead. Ah well.

    If you do plan on making more, definatly would enjoy it. If not, it was an interesting one-shot.

    Devious Celestia. Making up quests to teach the young nobleponies humility. You should make a series about that. Starting with Blueblood's quest for the meteorite.

    it is a pity that this is marked as 'Complete'. i would so very like to read and see just how Celestia reclaims the nobility of her wayward nephew.

    Thanks, everybody! This is something I kind of want to turn into a longer series, but I'm unfortunately bad at writing extended fics. I'm easily distracted and prone to procrastination, so I tend to focus on short, more or less self-contained fics.

    Nice work on extending the relationship between Blueblood and Celestia! I'd agree with everyone who has said you've left yourself some room for there to be a second chapter in this story, but as it is, its a great stand-alone :)

    You have The Descendant to think for bringing me here. :raritywink: Anyway, this was a rather enjoyable story! A bit short, but then again that encouraged me to take the plunge. Of all the Blueblood stories I've read, this one probably does the best job of showing us his perspective in a realistic manner that remains true to the show.

    I'd love to see this quest for a meteorite, but then again the story works quite well as a stand-alone, so no complaints.

    Thumbs up, and I would totally fave this if it were made into an epic adventure.  This would be an AMAZING intro.

    Go ahead and make another one shot sequel or a series based on this. Always like to see Blueblood try to be better with the emphasis on try, with much hijinks.

    Thanks! I know this practically screams for continuation, and perhaps someday I will get to writing the sequel to this.

    Seriously man, I can't get over how many times I've re-read this, please write a sequel :pinkiehappy: your blue blood is awesome and sings for proper redemption

    As you said yourself, you could make a sequel to this. I don't think there are enough stories with Blueblood in them that make him reasonable and fit in the universe, and also trying to find redemption.

    I dont know how this would handle as a longer story since i cant read what isnt there, but as a one shot it isnt very good. The story gets no where and just ends with nothing accomplished. This story teaches us nothing new about the characters and the reader is left wondering what the purpose of writing it was. As an intro, it works well in getting the reader interested and could lead to a decent story, however since it has a completed tag i will rate it as a completed work and say its not very good.

    That was a nice first chapter - where is the second one? :rainbowwild::derpytongue2::twilightsmile:

    Came here after reading "First Times", gotta say, you're pretty talented to write two fairly different fics. Also, I like stories that explain why characters like Blueblood or Trixie are totally arrogant.

    I feel slightly bad for this self-promotion, but I'm writing a romance adventure featuring Prince Blueblood and Derpy hooves. Granted, in that story he's an alicorn. In my head canon Blueblood acts the way he does because he doesn't want to deal with other nobles, so he just puts on a playboy attitude so other ponies are repulsed by him. Meanwhile in private he can actually prove quite well-meaning, kinda like Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne. The story is called "Tending the Flock"
